Bleeping distracted drivers!!!!

[Archae]

I was this > < close to a distracted driver tonight, and the son of a bitch look at me, and roared off.

As is, I dodged him, and he (on his cellphone, of course,) looked at me and roared off.

Didn't get the license number.

As it was, the SOB caused me to fall over backwards, and my leg hurts like hell!

Not broken, but HURTS!

If I find the guy, I'll sue him of the deep end!

1. I'm glad it wasn't even worse, Archae. I've been hit from behind twice,

and both times it was an idiot on a cell phone who didn't notice the stop sign.

Hope your leg feels better soon.

2. This happened to my daughter

Guy comes into her lane about to hit her head-on. She swerved to avoid him, hit a tree, and is now being treated for a serious concussion. They'll never find the guy.
She was driving between patients as a visiting nurse so she's on workers comp. The health network she works for (and is treating her) has a state-of-the-art concussion treatment center and she is getting the very best of care. Still worried sick, concussions are very serious business and she has no idea when she can return to work. She might even have to delay starting her MSN in the fall.

8. This is why I bought a dash cam.

Haven't needed it in a situation where i was involved in an accident, hopefully I never will,
but I have recorded some hairy shit, and WTF?, amusing stuff as well.

It's also nice to have handy in the event of fucked up police encounters.

If you live in a two party consent state, and your dash cam is well hidden (mine is), just be sure to inform the
cop that you're recording the asshole.

3. Grrrr.

4. Welcome to my world

Been driving a truck for 23 years, I got stories, man, do I.
And if someone hits me, I'm at fault unless there is overwhelming evidence.
"You should have known that the fool would run that stop sign"

Said every safety puke at every company.
grr, indeed, glad you weren't hurt worse

6. If you are on a motorcycle you had better know that fool is going to run the stop sign

5. That is horrible. I love it when you do call them out and they give you the finger

7. Crazy Kids and their Cell Phones

I got rear ended in my car a week ago standing still 3rd in line at a Red Light turn lane. The Light had been red for about 30 seconds. He hit me still going about 25 mph and only hit his breaks about a couple seconds before hitting me. How distracted do you have to be to hit a car standing still at a red light turn lane-I'm mean you at least have to be prepared to make the turn-right?
